As P.E. teachers we are taught not to punish students with exercise. I understand why, because they will not want to exercise on their own then. However, what else as PE teachers can we do to punish those students who disrupt class and are rude to other students? Lowering the grade may help, but in many schools gym is not counted toward the GPA, so getting a worse grade wouldn't affect the student then. What else can we do as PE teachers that will punish those rude and obnoxious students? |

This is an easy one in elementary PE.
Time out. Sit on a bench with no one
near them, stand by a tree Isolated or sit in a chair with NO shade (this is Fla). Now the key
to this is having the rest of the class doing something FUN!!!! Most of my kids HATE to be in TO and the ones that would need to be in TO are usually a little hyper and hate to sit at PE.
Never punish with exersice. To my kids that is too much like fun. |

I totally agree with the time out thing. I know that we are to get every student physically active at all times, and most students love to be active...so when they get that taken away, it really does change their behavior.
I know when I was in elementary school, my PE teacher would put us in the corner. We were not allowed to turn around or our punishment time was re-started...we all were well behaved because that was a horrible punishment. |

Maybe try using incentives for your desired behavior outcomes in class. When students behave for a week or maybe every two weeks, you could have a reward for them. It could be anything from letting the students choose an activity or sport to play on a Friday, to letting a few students do the warm-up for a class period. If those are not applicable, make up with smaller incentives. For younger students you could use sticker system and everyday each student behaves, they could get a sticker to put on the wall and after so many they can choose an activity or have a snack on the way out of class, etc. |

Maybe you can make the students sit out from the game, and give them a time out like they say above. This will teach teh student that if they want to have fun, then they have to behave. Also, you can show them that the gym is a classroom too and take away recess. Just like if they did something in math class and their recess was taken away. But with that comes the problem of taking away soem of their physical activity! |

I personally would make them sit out. If they are not behaving properly chances are it is because of them wanting attention from classmates or because they are being distracted by friends in the class. Setting the misbehaving student from their friends will give them a chance to focus back on the activity at hand. |
